Microbiome

Microbiome Analysis

16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing is a common amplicon sequencing method used to identify and compare bacteria present within a given sample. Next-generation sequencing enables analysis of the entire microbial community within a sample. With the ability to combine many samples in a sequencing run, researchers can use NGS-based 16S rRNA gene sequencing as a cost-effective technique to identify strains that may not be found using other methods. In collaboration with the Duke Center for Genomics of Microbial Systems (GeMS), we are providing experimental design, full sample processing, and analysis consultation.
